00148. Le voyage vers la renewal de promesses sacres (Journey to the sacred pledge)
With warm eyes that faithfully led her way to where her lover was, the young pregnant beauty went to abandon her first love in her post-partum childhood. Ending their chatter on a wooden open building made on the surface of the lake water, a place that is the habitat of blue lotus—lotus blue— that is blooming. There are also several other types of lotus that appear in different colors. In addition to the beauty around, the super moon that appears perfect in the sky also appears to display a shadow that is no less beautiful on the surface of the water.
“It's done?” greet the beautiful man waiting faithfully under the plum tree, near a wooden bridge that passes through the lake with blue lotus— blue lotus— that is in bloom. Her lover who had just passed the path whose right and left sides were decorated by sakura trees.
“Already,” replied the lover while nodding his head. A helping hand reached out toward him, then happily replied. “This place must be very beautiful when spring arrives. Many plum and sakura trees such as in Sesilia.”
The phrase was conveyed along with the steps they aligned. Before walking towards the wooden bridge, the lover first makes sure that the woman is not cold. The warm coat that covers the woman's body is sure to function properly.
“You missed the scenery in Sicily?”
Without a doubt, a nod of the head was given in response. Silently, the former Archduke of Sicily smiled. They have been leaving their homeland Robelia for a long time. It's only natural that there's a sense of longing to visit.
“In our new home later, I will try to bring the atmosphere like in Sesilia.”
“You will plant peach, apricot, and plum trees?”
Kaezar only replied after nodding his head. “I will plant it with my own hands.”
“I also want to participate!” pregnant woman, happy. She loves all activities related to gardening.
“Bby.” Kaezar agrees, taking the lover's hand with him. “You may participate, but only by sitting quietly quietly while I plant all the peach, apricot, and plum trees around our new home.”
Just about to voice a protest, Kayena was instead blown away when her lover let go of a warm smile while continuing his sentence.
“I only allow you to watch, Rein. The rest, let me do it. Your job is to just sit quietly with our son.”
“Alright if you insist, Prince Kwang Min.” Sulks. That's what Kayena did.
With Kaezar, he does display a variety of expressions, ranging from sulking, frowning, pouting, upset, to happy. A rare occurrence when Kayena who once lived like a wooden doll, now more loose, free, and happy. All thanks to the presence of the man who never made Kayena feel any shortcomings or worries. He never even glanced at other women when with Kayena or not. Kaezar is the definition of a couple that truly unites their partner.
“Have I praised you today, Rein?”
The couple, who were walking together over a wooden bridge that passed through the stream of the lake, seemed to hold hands while continuing small talk.
“I'm the one who wants to ask, aren't you tired of praising me?” Kayena asked back when she looked at the lover.
“No.” Kaezar replied immediately. “How will I get tired of praising, if you keep on dazzling me at every turn. Even when you sleep, you look very beautiful.”
Kayena shook her head, as if in disbelief. “You must have learned from Sister Cesare. He also really likes to praise his wife with such sentences.”
“Not really. Praise was spontaneously coming out of my mouth,” dear lover Kayena. “I have no experience with romance. Everything I show you, I do on an instinctive basis as a man.”
“Including kissing me on every occasion? You said it was the first time? But why does it feel like you are so clever.”
The sentence that was thrown vividly by Kayena apparently managed to make her lover touched by a faint red hue. Kayena even entertained when she saw her man with great difficulty covering the nervousness that struck. The awkward dehumanization also seemed to represent Kayena's guess.
“So, that time was not the first?” search Kayena, impressed deliberately teasing her lover.
“Of course it's the first,” Kaizen replied quickly. “I explained it back then, Rein. The man has a hunting instinct. Just like animals that live in the wild. When connecting and finding a partner, they will use primitive instincts. About me who likes to kiss you at every opportunity, it's also the same. A kind of marking territory—marking territory territory also.”
Kayena wanted to seduce her lover more, but chose to widen her smile. His lover is indeed a man who is insightful and his logic is always the way in every opportunity. In fact, without even being explained, Kayena already knew that Kaezar's first kiss was her. Kaezar suffers from mysophobia which has approached mental disorders.
This mysophobia disease is caused by a liver disease that makes him not feel love or affection for anyone. The disease then causes resentment of physical touch, especially the opposite sex. If there is physical touch, then Kaezar will feel very disgusted, continuously want to wash his hands or body parts touched, nausea, to vomiting. That's why Kaezar is so anti-patient towards women. Kayena is an exception to mysophobia.
Through the presence of Kayena, Kaezar can feel real love and affection. Kayena is also the antidote to all the pain and bitterness that she bears for life.
“I like to inhale the aroma that sticks to your body, especially the hair part. That's why I often mark that part,” whispered Kaezar after enduring all kinds of embarrassment this first time.
“Tell me if you object to the physical contact I often make, Rein. For the future, I will definitely learn self-control,” he added in a voice that has returned to normal.
Kayena shook her head while laughing. This type of laughter is relatively rare and very rarely shown to others. Kaezar was one of the lucky ones, because he could see it freely.
“My heart belongs to you. But, my body is mine.”
“I know. Therefore, in the future I will ask for permission every time I want to make physical contact.”
A beautiful face that usually displays a flat and emotionless look, this time looking so guilty. Kayena who saw it actually felt happy, because rarely could see the expression of her lover this one.
“I haven't finished talking,” Kayena said as she took off their hands. He then cupped the firm jaws of the lover. “For now, you must know the limits if you do not want to be beaten by my two brothers. But, after we get married, you are free to mark territory as you like.”
Fixated. That was the response performed by Prince Kwang Min. Not long after, he again linked his fingers with the lover. Without saying much, he took his lover back to walk across the wooden bridge. Before leaving the wooden bridge, he had a voice again with a thin smile that expands on the lips.
Kayena happily replied, “you are my husband and the father of my son. I am completely yours. It's just that, we still need a sacred promise to perfect our relationship.”
Both have claimed ownership of each other. Stay passed through the holy procession, the pledge of sacred promise in Edinburgh later. After that, they will officially become the happiest married couple after passing through various obstacles and obstacles.
Unbeknownst to them, there was a pair of eyes that had been watching from a distance. A faint smile rose on his lips as he decided to turn around, then leave the place. Walking with light strides, as his heart had just liberated the feeling that had been stored for a dozen years. The girl has found the right figure. So, there was no longer any reason for him to wait and chase anymore. He was very sure if the port this time was the last for the woman he loved.
The next day, while the Astorian land was still shrouded by a thin and pitch-black fog that limited visibility, the troop was brought by Khayansar, Cesare, together Kaezar has prepared in a small port close to the bay that directly connects the waters of Robelia with the high seas. Logistical needs to support the journey to Edinburgh which can take up to half a month, has been prepared and loaded well since yesterday.
Large sailing ships flying the flag of the Edinburgh Navy and the Carl— region of Cesare's territory were ready to travel. They were only carrying two large, sturdy sailing ships. Made from a variety of premium quality materials. The rest of the fleet that Khayansar had brought and belonged to Grand Duke Pexley had returned first to Edinburgh. Kaezar has also sent some shadow troops under his private ownership to guard Grand Duke Pexley in Edinburgh.
They brought enough troops to the Astoria Empire. Just to pick up Kayena along with the people who followed her, they brought two large yachts with the most complete weaponry of war. They even carry artillery—the deadliest and most effective ground weapons just in case.
“Bring this up for supplies on the go.”
Kayena received the gift of Emperor Kwang Sun's grandmother given through the head of her paddle. The stock, wrapped in a square box and yellow cloth, was decorated by the royal coat of arms of Robelia. Emperor Kwang Sun's grandmother did take Kayena home, although only reached the main gate. The old woman's health condition became the main reason that made her unable to deliver until the port.
In addition to the provisions containing various types of food that Kayena liked, Grandmother Emperor Kwang Sun also gave all types of tea in the Astoria empire and two sets of traditional Astoria clothes; a pair of wedding dresses that Kayena and Kaezar used during the rapture ceremony as well as a set of royal family official clothes made from the best silk materials. There are also some jewelry for Kayena, royal tokens as well as special tokens of the Kwang family that can be used throughout the Astoria mainland. Emperor Kwang Sun's grandmother also gave six pairs of traditional clothes to baby Kayena and Kaezar.
Young Miss Min Seol A who became a new friend who was familiar with Kayena also took us to the port. Assisted by one of his personal ladies, he then gave some items as mementos.
“I know Miss Kayena does not lack the slightest material. So, this is all I can give as a symbol of our friendship.”
The kind-hearted Young Miss with a gentle naturedness gave the traditionally made baby bedong with her own hands. There is also a handkerchief with gold thread embroidery, several pairs of gloves and socks spun from the finest quality wool and silk threads. All of them are handmade and made from the best material suitable for newborns. If calculated into currencies, the price will definitely not be cheap.
“Please accept also this,” added Young Miss Min Seol A. Proposing a jewelry box that holds Crystal stones. “I like to collect Crystal stones, but not because of their high value. Rather because of their benefits that can help calm the mind, peace, to eliminate negative energy.”
Crystal stones given to Kayena are of several types. Among them Amethyst is believed to make the mind calm. Rose Quartz is synonymous with the power of loving yourself and others, and can bring peace. Lastly, there is Black Tourmaline to eliminate negative energy all around.

“Thank you very much,” said Kayena, sincere. He did not expect that his return would be ushered in by many people, and given many gifts. But he prepared nothing.
“Be careful on the road and see you next time,” said Young Miss Min Seol A who stood not far from her personal day. It was quite far from where Emperor Astoria was.
Kayena smiled warmly while nodding. Beside her, Kaezar stood up while hugging Kayena's slender waist. They're ready to go. However, Khayansar and Cesare were still busy talking to Emperor Kwang Sun. Only after the captain gave a warning to each cabin crew did they finish the conversation.
“Be careful,” said Emperor Kwang Sun when he finally faced Kayena who was still with Kaezar. “It's good to see you live in my homeland.”
“I'm so grateful to you,” Kayena said with a warm smile on her lips. “You made me find a new home here,” he continued.
Emperor Kwang Sun also seemed to show a smile full of dignity. He did not mind at all accepting Kayena's presence. If Kayena is happy to live in Astoria, she is also happy.
“Now you are part of the Astoria imperial family. Come anytime if you miss this place.”
Kayena nodded. Beside her, Kaezar also nodded thinly. There was once a short chat between first love in childhood and true love Kayena. However, there was nothing to worry about, as the matter of feeling between them had been resolved.
“I have nothing to make as a gift, but I will give a special decree to your prospective children.”
After saying so, the eunuch Emperor Kwang Sun gave a scroll of documents. Not long after, the scroll was given to Kaezar and Kayena.
“Kelak, if your child has been born into the world, the titles of Daegun and Gongju will be directly given to him.”
There was a shocked look among the Astorians who were escorting the return of Kayena and the others. Young Miss Min Seol A also seemed to show the same expression. Daegun and Gongju are titles for princes and princesses born to a queen or empress. In contrast to Gun and Ongju which is a title for the son and daughter of the king of a concubine.
“Although officially unable to become the heir to the throne, your child will be considered like my own son. Later he will be treated like the son of an emperor.”
Usually the King's or Emperor's newborn son is called wangja dam wangyeo, which is a title for the king's sons and daughters before officially getting the titles of gun, daegun, gongju, and ongju. While the prospective children of Kaezar who bear the title of gun (prince) and Kayena who bears the title Gunbuin (prince's wife) are immediately given the title Daegun or Gongju. Source: Wikipedia
A gift that cannot be measured by anything. Because it can be predicted that their children—Kaezar and Kayena— will get an important title at the age of 0 months, when the original offspring of the emperor has not been born into the world.
